“Radium Girls” is a play that illustrated the true story of young women who worked in the early 20th century at a factory in the United States, where they painted luminous watch dials with radium-based paint. These workers, unaware of the dangers of radium exposure, faced severe health issues as a result, leading to tragic consequences. The play explores their struggles for justice and the fight against the corporate lack of care for their employers.

The play centers around characters such as Grace Fryer, one of the women who becomes ill from the toxic paint. It highlights the physical and emotional toll the exposure to radium had on her and her colleagues, as well as the journey they undertook to seek accountability for their suffering.

The play was on May 6th, 7th, and  8th in the little theater. The performances captured the struggle and determination of the girls, bringing awareness to their story and the importance of advocating for worker safety. The play was not only educational but also a mix of intense scenes with the hope for a better future. This show was a great end to the 2026 school year for advanced theater and a great end for senior’s. Great job theater and congrats seniors for a fantastic final show!
